Fowlers Yard Creative Workspaces

A row of stables along the River Wear close to the historic
heart of Durham has been converted into a set of creative
workspaces, where local artists can be seen at work. Visitors can
watch crafts like woodcarving, glasswork, painting, micro brewing,
embroidery and textile arts in progress. Fowler's Yard is run by
the Durham Dramatic Society and is an exciting initiative, bringing
international attention to Durham's hard-at-work local artists.
There is also a coffee shop, where tourists can relax and soak up
the wonderful atmosphere of the area. There is no charge for
entrance and even if you don't but anything watching the work in
progress is interesting.
